Using The Connect (UTC) is a game-based learning program designed for middle school-aged youth (ages 9-15 or grades 6-8) consisting of four games played in a facilitated environment, and one take-away activity. The goals of the program include:To be a vehicle that encourages community sharing of healthy teen behavior. To facilitate safe connections between youth and adults in their community. To empower youth to lead healthy sexual lives. The four games each focus on specific health content or skills including growth and development, accessing information, positive communication, and decision-making. Each of the four games is intended to be played for a total of 90 minutes, split up into sessions of 30 minutes per game.
